Diary of Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska: Divine Mercy in My Soul

This leather-bound edition of Diary of Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska is wonderful. The leather cover makes the book very sturdy, which is important for a devotional that you’ll read often and carry with you. Even though it is well made, the pages are lightweight so the book is not too heavy. That makes it easy to travel with. I often bring it with me when I travel and use it as part of my daily devotional time. The diary itself is incredibly meaningful. It shares the life of Maria Faustina Kowalska and her deep spiritual journey with Christ that led to the creation of the Divine Mercy Chaplet. Reading her words helps you understand who she was as a person and the depth of her faith. Most of all, the diary gives a powerful message of hope. It reminds us that everyone can turn to Christ and receive His unlimited mercy. If you are looking for a devotional that is both inspiring and practical to carry with you, this edition is an excellent choice.

There are ONLY 3 BOOKS you REALY HAVE TO READ in your life time on this planet. The Bible, at your young age, the "PURGATORY" by Fr. Schoupe as you enter your teenage years and older, and St . Faustina Diary in leather bound. Many more good books, but in my 50 years or reading all religious books, novel, or scientific books ( I read more then 2000) This is the Essence of our past, our present and our future. You need the bible to give you a foundation, a character to become a decent person and saved from all evils and pervertions today, then when you grew up and forget your bible or bored hearing or listened to it, switch to the purgatory to find out WHAT happened when you decided to forget the bible, where would you go in life and after this life??? This is not a joke , it is a real story of us. IF you then still ignored it and 30 years later decided you had enough of all the empty things around, and you read the Purgatory and got scared, then read the Diary of St Faustina, there you will find the essence of God, of the bible, of your life and future and of a way out from ALL your troubles, fear, pain , suffering, sadness, loneliness, you will understand the secret of HEAVEN, whats look like in there and beyond......As Jesus said, this is the LAST way out of your trouble and death, LAST chance to find peace, love and meaning of any ones life, be it poor or rich, beautiful or ugly, short or tall, good or evil...I read this book 6 times and still not done, it reveals to me more and more the essence purpose and secret of my life.....Read it once , you may be hooked, read it twice and then you see the beauty and secrets of God and Jesus's love in all things...Read it 3 times and you are set to be freed from your fear......and stress and fear. I was laid off 4 times, but after reading this book, I was changed and I have no more fear nor sadness....NOTHING should worry you anymore IF you read this book.....please read it, whats $26 compared to a torture in hell for eternity???? You do NOT believe in HELL???? A man in Italy told pAdre Pio that, and he replied:" You WILL when you get there"!!!! you bought insurance for everything junky in this world and you wont buy insurance for your after life???

I’m not a person who reads a lot, but after watching “The Divine Mercy” documentary I’m hoping that this Diary brings me a depth of peace/comfort and understanding going forward.

I was so impressed with this "paperback" book as it was no ordinary paperback as it was meticulously presented in a leatherbound cover and with gold trimmed pages. There were absolutely beautiful photographs presented at back of this book to further attest to its authenticity. I was questioning whether to purchase this extraordinary paperback at such a high price but I can see now the value surpasses it's price! I am so anxious now to begin my journey of St. Faustina life experiences with our Savior

It was very easy to read. And I was inspired.

This is a real person's diary . . . and the intimate interior life of the soul of a young idealistic woman and her mystical experiences. It can be read or speed read through with the purpose of extracting the subtle tone of the writer's interior feelings and thoughts. It is a translation and has been edited . To read this quickly without the intention of returning and reading it slowly through is a mistake (in my opinion) . I read it long ago in 2005 and was very impressed by it, although, it would have been useless to me if I had not, first, seen the dramatized life of the saint and understood both her childhood circumstances which give background to her sweet Diary writings, which she wrote in her own handwriting , in her own way, in some notebooks, for the purpose of her own spiritual growth. After her death,these writings were collected, put in order and nicely bound for the edification of us all. Her schooling was perhaps not up to the standard of expression for public consumption but the diary were her own writings in a notebook expressing her feelings as a Sister in a convent in Poland. It is a great source of inspiration to read and I warmly recommend it .

I love this book. I wish I had enough money to buy one for everyone. I highlighted it and go back to the highlights daily. I have read all the famous saints and this one is the best. Saint Teresa of Avila is also at the top of my list. I bought the small paper back then I bought this leather one. The print is a little bigger and it’s made to last a lifetime. I’m going to buy another one to lend out.

I’m very satisfied thank

M E R C Y ! What can I possibly say about the mercy of God? Our Jewish friends know it... from the psalms we know that 'God's mercy endures forever!' Our Muslim friends know that God is so wonderfully merciful - they too praise Him because he is merciful! This book is all about these awesome revelations given to this nun - prior to WWII about His Divine Mercy. I've read quite a bit of it and always find it to be a genuine gift. This concept of God being so kind and merciful is very appealing and life-changing. To me the greatest people I've ever met on earth have been merciful. It is the trademark of the Saints and those who wish to live a heroic life. If you want to have true peace in your life - then you too must become an apostle of God's mercy. This book will - I'm sure - be a blessing to all who read it. The world has become a very 'unkind' place. Many people don't know how to love - how to forgive - how to act and treat others well. We live in an age where people have become 'dehumanized'. They have forgotten the love of Jesus. This book brings the message home - in a major way: GOD LOVES YOU ... & he wants you to be merciful too. God's mercy is my hope and joy in life. Over and out

Beautiful edition, quality leather, excellent first impression, bound to last (no pun intended) a decade or three. Bought as a gift, so I have not read it myself, but, being a Polish speaker, I flicked through and checked a couple of key passages against the original - at first sight the translation seems solid, if not 100% faithful - traduttore, traditore, as the Italians say - or better still, it's either beautiful or faithful, rarely both! Five stars nonetheless, buy it.

This is beautiful quality, a book every one should have.

I consider this book a treasure! When I start reading it`s hard to put it down. It`s also beautifully bound with its leather cover, and being a senior I find the print is not too small.
